Question Wheels and tires for a 65 Mustang Coupe

I am looking at the following wheels for my 65 mustang (http://www.edelbrockwheels.com/wheel....asp?wheel=409) and 1st want to know what size would be recommended and the tire size to go with it.

I want to go witht the same tire size all the way around so I can rotate the tires and don't want to have to make any mods. Front should be pretty standard, I am switching to disk brakes and just installed a 9 inch in the back with disks as well. This car will be a daily driver.

Thanks,
Adam

I will be converting to the TCP power rack setup, so "yes" I will.

Adam, I would look at 225 as being the widest tire that you could fit, and that would be a 7 inch wheel, and that would ONLY be with the right offset, find yourself a good tire/wheel guy

I got this from another group.
